- Affirmed
“Having considered the forecasted performance and cashflow of the Company the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company delivered a strong performance throughout 2024, despite market pressures stemming from declining used electric vehicle (EV) values. Turnover rose to £66.4 million (2023: £52.7 million), with a reported profit before tax of £8.3 million (2023: £10.2 million). This was also our third most successful year for new vehicle orders, achieved while managing a record number of vehicles in extension. The dedication and innovation of our team were recognised with two prestigious industry awards in 2024: "Leasing Company of the Year up to 20,000 Vehicles" at the Fleet News Awards in March, and "Leasing Innovation of the Year" at the Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards in April. This momentum has carried into 2025, with Grosvenor receiving the "Innovation in SMR" award at the Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards and being Highly Commended in the "Leasing Company of the Year - up to 20,000 Vehicles" category by Fleet News.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
